TRT Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Hi, i´m having Problems configuring mandrake 9.2 to access the inet. I connect through a router so i choose lan connection in the wizard. Then it finds my Network Card (on a nforce Board) but when i click "next" i see a screen stating that it installs the drivers but after ~1s it goes back to the screen where it asks if i have any more network cards... This can be done again and again. Thx four your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 what kind of connection? I'm cable and through a router so I choose cable....the nic is also configured. DSL? Choose that.....etc..... ....and welcome to the board! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Are your nforce drivers working? Are you networked in your house so that you can verify the function of your nic? I have seen some issues with the nforce boards with on-board nic. You should use the nvidia drivers found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRT Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Hi, Yup DSL. I´m sure Lan is the right connection type since the router is connected with my pc through the network card and its also the same in win. sound (which is also onboard) is working fine. I already tried the drivers from that link but nothing changed. Maybe it´s only a GUI Bug so is there another tool i can use for setting up my Connection? (too bad that the wizard has such a strange behaviour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnkirby Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Hi, I'm running an Nforce2 board, and have had the same problems. From what I have found, the sound will work fine out of the box, but hte NIC does not. The drivers from Nvidia (small download) and the Kernel-source (big download) are needed for it to configure. Let's put it this way, it's enough of a hassle that I have a seperate NIC card in my PC that MDK can configure without help, and I keep the Nforce NIC disabled in the bios. Sorry to rain on your parade..... Capn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRT Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Ok,so downloading the 8mb file from the ftp above should do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
